Summary:

"This report documents the findings of the baseline consumer narrative interviews of the At Home/Chez Soi initiative. It provides a summary of the emergent themes from each of the five sites, based on the individual site reports. These baseline consumer narratives will enable the research teams to analyze the nature and extent of change in comparison to the 18-month follow-up narratives. The overall objective of this report is to identify key themes regarding: (1) pathways into homelessness, (2) life on the streets and in a shelter, and (3) experiences of mental health issues and mental health services"--page 4.
